Lund tuning and traction control

Quick question. I have installed moddiction unit and now traction control
Button doesn’t work. In the mean time while I trouble shoot is there a way to tune the traction control always off? Or remove a fuse that controls that? I’m hoping it’s not the unit itself and I can fix before track day next week.

Lund turns the traction control off in their tunes so don't bother.

I have a lund tune, and TC works just as well as it did from the factory.

I have a Lund tune. So that means my traction control button has done nothing since I’ve been tuned? I feel like it still engages but now that you mention i have to pay closer attention.

They do as they switch the torque model off as they install a special operating system in your PCM. Electronic stability will not work properly without torque model - it will prevent your wheels form spinning but it will not save your ass if you whole car starts to spin - ever wondered why so many crashed mustangs and most of them with a tune? Go figure...

This is a whole new level of "Damn tune!"

I'd go further to venture that the people that automatically disable traction control or set driving mode to sport or track are more likely to have tunes as well.

Still a bit curious if there is any truth to this, sounds like other people are saying they still have traction control and advancetrac with the Lund tune. I think what is probably changed is the torque management that tends to kill power on manual transmissions to save the clutch? I'd imagine there are some torque management options that are adjusted on automatics as well?

I can attest that traction control and Advancetrac still work on my Lund tune.

Traction control is not turned off.

Same.

Id imagine the guys over at Lund wouldnt be too happy some random dude is saying this about their tunes, I know Dasan from his days at Revolution, I'm gonna reach out to him and let him know.



**I sent Dasan a message on fb, waiting on a reply.......

UPDATE

I just got a reply from Dasan, one of Lund's calibrators, he replied with a LOL, they are not even able to disable the 15+ traction control, the the 11-14 cars they can, but NOT the 15+
